White men can learn some of the must Inspiring truths from savages. Major Charles Wilklns. who has I teen agent for the X'matillas for the past nine years, lias made a study of Indian life and ethics aud has found under the coarse and vulgar exterior of the savages, some of the most ex alted principles of justice. ; I'neducated and untutored In the niceties and amenities of civilised 1 laws and moral codes, the Indian yet possesses fundamental ideas of jus- , tice which might well grace the white man's codes. t ine thrilling instance of Indian Jus tice was brought to Major Wilklns' attention in the Investigation of a supposed murder on the reservation. An Indian had been found dead on the road and Jliack Horn, a well known Umatilla, was suspected of having committed the murder. be cause he was last seen with the dead man. Everything pointed to Black Horn, and what the w hite man calls circum stantial evidei tightly Inclosed him in its telt-taie meshes. Any white man. upon being Inform ed of the circumstances, would have Instantly admitted that he believed Hlack Horn guilty, although no one saw- him commit the deed. Not so in Indian ethics. An old Indian, perfectly honest and loving Justice Intensely, when closely pressed to express an opinion a t0 "I no see. I not know." "But don't you think Black Horn guilty?" was asked again. "I no see." was the stoical reply. "You saw Black Horn wtth dead man last; you find dead man; you know he no kill himself; why you not -say 'Black Horn surely kill him"?' was asked him again. Again came the stoical response: "Because I no see. I not know." "Don't you think, may be. Black Horn kill him?" was the lawyer's parrying question. -When I no see. I no think." came the equally diplomatic reply and the investigation closed. Because this old Indian had not seen the crime committed, no rule of reason or logic could bring him to say that he believed what he didn't know. With the Indian, every truth must be based on absolute facts. In his code of ethics, no such an Indefinable quality of truth as "circumstantial evidence" finds any place. It is a crude, yet startling principle of justice, which would be especially applicable to the while man's code. "Because I no see, I do not know." Very few guilty men would escape under it and no innocent man would ever again be sacrificed to "circum stantial evidence." j When the tOtt patents to timber claims on the head waters of Cath erine creek.

Hut Morgan is said to lead a perfectly simple and open life. b-ine devoted to his wife and unupproaeh abie to the 1-eherous purasites that nVt. from the vices f the rich. What- ever else Morgan may do. this is one eternal credit to his life. This home ly, honest virtue will compensate for all the railroads smashed and all the mergers planned by Morgan. ;MHHVK. I!

At a j meeting of the Chicago Women's Aid last week she evolved a scheme foi : domestic felicity w hich included the segregation of infants and the estab- laments of co-oierative kitchens. .She l?clared that In the munlripul nurseries which she would have estab lished the infants would receive better care than the "creature whom they call "mother" Is able to give them. She said the home was no more th prop-r place for the preparation of food than for the making of boots. Yesterday at Hull House she urged that the widow who lets her child work to support her Is no better than would be the woman who ate her San Francisco Call.
